Whelan out for five to seven more weeks Jockey Ken Whelan is expected to be out of action for five to seven weeks following a heavy fall at Killarney on July 16. Whelan, who fell from Wonderkid in the ladbrokes.com Handicap Chase, sustained a fracture to his right wrist while also fracturing a bone in his left hand, both of which are now in plaster. Whelan has endured his share of injuries this season and was last in the winners enclosure when partnering Oh Jackie (who defeated Wonderkid) to win the prestigous La Touche Cup at the Punchestown Festival in April..
